Chapter 609 Phantom Auction

After saying that, his figure turned into a stream of light, cutting through the sky and rushing towards Yaoguang City, leaving behind a trail of bright light, like the light of hope that cuts through the darkness.

On the other side, there was still some time before the auction started, so Luo Li did not go out for a walk. She quickly went to the Tower of Gods. She had not finished reading an ancient book yesterday.

Time quickly turned to the afternoon, and when there was only one hour left before the auction, Luo Li rushed from the inn to the Huanling Auction House.

She arrived about a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time, but when she arrived at the entrance of the Phantom Auction House, she saw Yun Ning waiting at the door.

Yun Ning's eyes had been lingering at the door, and he saw Luo Li at a glance.

A smile instantly appeared on her face, and she walked down the steps to greet him, "Guest, you are here."

Luo Li nodded, walked upstairs, and then glanced at Yun Ning and said, "As the head of the Huanling Auction House, don't you have other things to do?"

Yun Ning smiled sweetly, "Waiting for your arrival is my biggest priority today."

"Speaking of this..." Yun Ning asked tentatively, "I don't know your name, sir?"

"No need to mention your surname Luo." Luo Li glanced at her sideways, "I should have a private room, right?"

Yun Ning smiled and said, "Miss Luo, of course, please follow me."

Yun Ning swayed her waist gently and led the way. The hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, attracting the attention of the guests passing by.

But in an instant, their attention was attracted by the girl behind Yun Ning.

Where did this guest come from that Yun Ning could personally wait on him?

The discussion about her was whispered, but Luo Li turned a deaf ear to it and followed Yun Ning up to the second floor.

Walking through the intricately carved corridor on the second floor, with candlelight flickering on both sides and the interweaving of light and shadow, Luo Li glanced sideways and seemed to see a familiar figure.

Luo Li paused, withdrew her gaze, suddenly shook her head, and followed Yun Ning deeper.

The air is filled with the faint scent of sandalwood and unknown flowers, interweaving into a refreshing atmosphere.

Finally, Yun Ning stopped in front of an ancient and elegant door. The door was inlaid with delicate silver edges and an intricate phoenix pattern carved in the center. It was lifelike, as if it was about to spread its wings and fly high.

She used the jade token to open the door, and the door hinges made a low and long creaking sound. Behind the door was a box with luxurious yet elegant decoration. Looking through the transparent window, the entire auction hall was just visible.

Inside the box, the soft candlelight and the faint light coming in from the window interweave to create a warm and mysterious atmosphere.

In the center stood a long table inlaid with gemstones.

On the table, exquisite tea sets and fine porcelain snacks are arranged in an orderly manner, and hot steam rises, intertwining with the elegant fragrance in the air.

Luo Li and Yun Ning sat down opposite each other. Outside the window, the auction hall on the first floor was bustling with people, but this place seemed isolated from the world. Only the sound of the two people's light conversation and the occasional discussion coming from outside the window remained.

Yun Ning smiled and said, "Miss Luo, these five pills you brought have attracted the attention of the entire Southern Continent."

She thought to herself that if she was given another half month, she was sure that even the group of people from the northern continent would come over.

But after all, it was the originally scheduled auction time, so she could only postpone it for seven days.

Luo Li picked up the cup, just smiled and said nothing more.

Yun Ning also stood up tactfully. "Then Miss Luo, please wait a moment. The auction will start soon. I will be leaving first. If you need anything, just tell the person at the door."

Luo Li nodded, "Okay."

Soon, it was time for the auction to begin.

When the time came, the lights in the auction hall dimmed.

Only on the central auction table, a soft beam of light slowly lit up, shrouding the first item to be exhibited in a mysterious and alluring atmosphere.

The whispers of the guests around gradually died down, and everyone's eyes were focused here, looking forward to the miracle that was about to be revealed.

Luo Li tilted her head slightly, and through the half-open window lattice, she could faintly hear the sound of stringed instruments in the distance, as well as the growing sense of anticipation among the people in the hall.

She raised her eyelids slightly, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in her eyes.

However, the first half of the auction was really boring. Luo Li yawned lazily, supported her chin with one hand, and waited quietly.

Although the Blood Lotus Pill had attracted a lot of good things in the past few days, there was not a single thing that Luo Li liked.

Not to mention that the vast majority of people who came today were here for the Blood Lotus Pill, which made the other items seem even more bleak.

At this time, it was in the third box to the right of Luo Li's box.

The blue-robed youth held his chin in his hand and said speechlessly, "Di Xuanming, you have already comprehended the four laws. Please don't fight with me for this pill."

Upon hearing this, Di Xuanming glanced at him sideways and said nothing, but his eyes revealed the answer.

The blue-robed youth clearly understood what Di Xuanming meant and whispered, "At least leave one for me."

Di Xuanming turned his head to look at the auction table, his eyes filled with determination to win.

If he could use this elixir to comprehend the laws of space, he could go directly to the Tianyuan Continent.

Therefore, he must get this pill.

As everyone looks forward to it, the second half of the auction will soon be coming to an end.

The auctioneer knew what everyone present was looking forward to. He smiled and said, "Guests, the item that will be auctioned soon is the Blood Lotus Pill!"

As he finished speaking, the auction platform in front of him slowly rose.

The auctioneer smiled and lifted the red cloth covering it. "Blood Lotus Pill, a Soul King-level elixir, taken from the heart of a thousand-year-old glacier in the Far North. It gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and has the effect of strengthening the soul and consolidating the body."

"It also has the effect of tempering the physical strength and increasing the power of comprehending the laws in a short period of time."

"Starting price: 10 million Crystal Soul Coins per piece. Single auction. Each bid must be no less than 100,000 Crystal Soul Coins!"

On the auction table, the light was dazzling. The legendary Blood Lotus Pill lay quietly in an exquisite jade box, surrounded by faint fluctuations of laws, causing everyone in the audience to hold their breath and stare.

"This is... Blood Lotus Pill!"

Inside the box, Di Xuanming did not move, but the aura around him rose quietly, as if even the air had solidified.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he stared at the Blood Lotus Pill, tapping the back of the chair with his fingers. Every tap was accompanied by a pressure that could not be ignored, which frightened the blue-robed boy beside him.

Is this elixir so important to Di Xuanming?

He shook his head and thought, forget it, it’s a single auction anyway, he should be able to get one back, right?

Suddenly, in the first floor lobby.

The auctioneer's voice rang out passionately, announcing the start of the auction of the Blood Lotus Pill. In an instant, the entire venue boiled over with bids coming one after another, but no one touched the bottom line that Di Xuanming expected.

Emperor Xuanming's expression was as determined as ever. He was just waiting for the right moment to take the Blood Lotus Pill into his pocket with lightning speed.
